Furneaux Lodge

Conference Venue / Queen Charlotte Sound

Nestled at the head of Endeavour Inlet in the heart of New Zealand's stunning Marlborough Sounds, Furneaux Lodge is the first stop on the renowned Queen Charlotte Track. It looks out over the calm, clear water of the bay, embraced by 800 hectares of virgin native forest, unchanged since Captain Cook's first visit to the inlet in 1769. Part of the beauty of this historic destination is the isolation - no roads lead to Furneaux Lodge.

Here at the lodge the pace is easy, and the atmosphere comfortable and relaxed. Explore the inlet, kayaking, swimming, mountain biking and walking, or spend the day fishing, diving and dolphin watching.

The lodge offers a range of accommodation depending on your requirements. Our waterfront suites are contemporary one bedroom apartments, absolutely private with stunning views. The self contained two bedroom chalets have panoramic views and are great for family groups, while the legendary Croft is perfect for an overnight stop for fisherman, hunters and people hiking the Queen Charlotte Track.
